Dr. Gregory Petersburg is a popular international speaker, educator, and consultant for physicians, healthcare leaders, and the public on issues of healthy lifestyles, preventive and proactive-aging medicine, the ‘art’ of medicine, and providing transformative patient experiences. He is also the developer and owner of the Living Younger Lifestyle Medicine System©. Used worldwide by lifestyle & proactive aging practitioners, the Living Younger system has become a recognized standard in the industry for both the clinical practice and business of lifestyle & proactive aging medicine. After 25 years practicing what he considers ‘sickcare’ medicine, it became evident that the best medicine is true ‘healthcare.’ However, transitioning from the old paradigm of ‘downstream’ medicine to a new ‘upstream’ medicine paradigm was not an easy undertaking and took several years to accomplish. While developed initially for his new practice in 2003, Living Younger Lifestyle Medicine became available in 2007 for other practitioners making similar professional transitions.
Dr. Petersburg’s clinical practice specializes exclusively in lifestyle & proactive aging medicine. Individuals who aspire to take charge of their health destiny and optimize the experience of healthy aging travel from coast to coast to seek his clinical expertise. He maintains an active clinical practice in Tubac, Arizona. His practice, Renascence, has been recognized as one of the top ten customer experience providers in the U.S.
Dr. Petersburg also conducts intensive hands-on clinical training programs for practitioners transitioning from a sickcare practice to integrative, BHRT, functional, and lifestyle medicine. His popular Art of Medicine workshops re-train physicians in the core competencies of medicine – patient-centeredness, compassion, empathy, art, humor & creativity in medicine – to become more effective change agents for their patients. Additionally, as a ‘Designed Customer Experience’ expert, Dr. Petersburg provides personalized consulting services to forward-thinking leaders seeking to create captivating and transformative customer and employee experiences.
